thoroughly is the work done in this direction that the Medical Schools of the State give full credit for grades obtained in the scientific studies in our University. But Prof. Fisher ' s interests do not extend simply to his own department and his own work. Nor do they reach only as far as the University which he dearly loves and to whose cause he is so unselfishlv devoted. Nor indeed do they lie simply within the borders of his own church ; but they are as large as the cause of education and the welfare of man. At the Universitv he has always stood for a scientific spirit, for scholarship, for literary excellence and for Christian manhood. In particular, he has been the founder of the Society of Natural Sciences, one of the leading spirits in the organization of the Phil- omatrian Society, a staunch advocate of pure, manly athletics, and an ardent supporter of the cause of Christianity, especially as it touches the University life. He has at various times repre- sented the Faculty in Athletics and at all times stands ready to assist the young men in their efforts along lines of nobler Christian living. In the class-room Prof. Fisher is at all times a refined Christian gentleman, a broad scholar and a thorough master of the subjects which he teaches. Being himself filled with his subjects he grows enthusiastic in the imparting of knowledge. With him Science is the law of God written in Nature. Under him students are led to see the beauty, order and harmony of the Universe and are inspired with a zeal for a larger acquaintance with the great book of nature. But while Prof. Fisher has already established for himself an enviable reputation by his indefatigable industry and devotion to the cause of education, his friends are looking for still greater results. He is yet a young man and is really just coming into the full possession of his powers. At present he is engaged in a very exhaustive course of scientific research, and is making splendid progress. In fact, Prof. Fisher, is a growing man and Susque- hanna may expect large things at his hands. Let the students. Alumni, and friends of the Universty rejoice in the success that Prof. Fisher has attained, and wish for him many years of growth and service in the cause of Christian educa- tion. 7
